Looking for unique AND politically correct gift ideas? Buying gifts for coworkers, your boss or vendors can sometimes result in awkward moments, lots of debate on what to get and overall confusion. And most of the time, getting too personal sends the wrong message.

Gifts are one thing but what about holiday celebrations? Do you ignore them? Which ones are politically correct to celebrate?

Whether it is a gift for your boss or celebrating a holiday, more often than not, giving a small thoughtful gift or card is better than not doing anything at all.

But don’t you worry, we’ve got you covered.

Ultimate Gift Ideas: For Your Boss, Your Co-Workers and Your Cat

Although we’re not experts in gift giving, we’ve created some fun posts over the years with some GREAT gift ideas:

Is a beloved small business owner on your holiday list? Can’t decide what gift to get him or her? We’ve put together 21 unique gift ideas for the multi-tasking, sleep deprived, and over-caffeinated small business owner on your shopping list. Some cool, some crazy, some useful and some just plain ridiculous.

Are you in desperate need of last minute white elephant gift inspiration? We’ve put together a seriously crazy list of gifts that only your co-workers would love or hate. You pick!

Sneak peek:

Sneak peek:

Cat Nap Cocoon ($53): This unique gift comes from Lithuania. Your cat will instantly fall in love with this Cat Nap Cocoon (Cave, Bed, House, or Vessel) made of hand felted wool. From a satisfied customer, “A very well made bed! My cat loves it, and it’s fun to see him all curled up inside. He also adores the small felt heart that came with it.”

We’ve put together a list of some crazy things you could get away with saying to your boss, some things you probably should not say and then a boring list of politically correct things to say to your boss, clients or small business associates. Pick the one or two you like best and file the rest under “G for garbage”!
